Horses are poetry in motion—wild, powerful, and free. ‘Contortionist’ captures a fleeting moment of unrestrained energy, a horse twisting midair in a dance of strength and spirit. The flowing mane, the coiled muscles, the sheer force of movement...all frozen in time, yet pulsing with life. Stripped to black and white instead of color and the image reveals what words cannot: the raw beauty of the horse, untamed and unapologetically alive.
